Hello all
I am working on setting up a pair of emonpi2 to monitor several different pieces of equipment in my shop. I am using the 3phase 12CT models with the 3 phase emonvs. (and a couple of the emonth(s) as well) I believe I have figured out the local part of the set up, however I am trying to sync both of the emonpi2 feeds and inputs to the emoncms.org site so that I can build a complete picture/dashboard of usage/etc for my whole shop - since I have 12 circuits monitored on each emonpi2 instance, syncing to emoncms.org seemed like the easiest way to combine the data sets and build the visualizations I am looking for.
Getting the first emonpi2 set up and synced was fairly easy. however once I setup the second emonpi2 to sync, I started having issues. I assume this is because both emonpi2 instances are
using the same “node” name (node id?) and that is causing the sync process to be confused.
periodically the inputs and process lists will get wiped out on one of the emonpi2 instances.
I am not sure how to show what the issue is or what logs/etc would be helpful.
This is a snapshot of the inputs for my second emonpi instance:
and here is what the first emonpi2 instance looks like currently:
before I setup sync on both instances, they both had similar looking configurations (different input names and feeds/processes ofcourse)
I’ve tried changing the nodename/id under the “devices” menu on the local emonpi2 instance(s) but all that appears to do is add an empty device - the orig “emonpi2” device with it’s inputs shows back up
Is there something I’m missing (obviously I’m missing something) or is it not possible to link multiple emonpi2 instances to the emoncms.org service?
